they see big deficits. this is an opportunity to real against deficits and of course what you must do is cut social security benefits for some reason to deal with the current deficit and so that's a big part of it. and that influences the debate. the other thing is there are a lot of people in d.c. who posture, whose persona is that of being serious and you show that by being lling to impose suffering and cuts. the serious thing to do right now to spend is very, very. so they don't -- i think they just find it hard to even wrap their minds around the notion that the opposite of what they usually call for is what you need to do right now. >> and i think that's particularly true in the case after financial crises. in your earlier book you talk about the idea that there's a sense -- deep intuitive moral sense in which people feel you need to pay penance, right? >> right. >> if there's been crisis, there's been sin, and the only way to get oust sin is penance, and you have a great argument about that in your bo

[applause] if you look at what is happening here, it is true that the deficit are going to be below $1 trillion for the first time in several years. and it is true that the new revenues raised in spending that you did not do. it is true that the economy is beginning to grow again. but this is almost like the reverse of what we did in 1993. that is, i was prickly well aware if we raise taxes and cut spending, it could have a dragging effect in the economy. but not nearly as much as spending 40% of the budget paying interest on the debt. not nearly as much as having low growth. at nearly as much as having interest rates that were too high. so our gamble was that the explosive the fact of lowering interest rates, with a booming bond market and having more disposable income over a 5 =-10 year period would more than offset putting the hammer down by raising more money and cutting spending. it turned out to be a good gamble, but it made sense. it will make sense here again. but timing is everything. and so, i think he should have a budget that does not defy our arithmetic but also, and doesn
